What I meant was that, as printed in scholarly editions, this text
usually has "partis" (with a long i that I can't show via e-mail), the
spelling in older Latin, as used by Caesar. Later Latin always uses the
"-es" for the plural; the genitive singular has a short "i". I only wrote
this at all, because that is the way it is printed...

Caesar would have described this luscious apple cake as a "crustulum cum
malis" most likely. Too bad he missed it...

May God forgive me. I always meant to be perfect! Sometimes, as I have
recently demonstrated, I can't even spell in English, much less in Italiano
or Deutsch.

"Get what you deserve!" at the very bottom of Joseph's post, caused me to
think:

"May we NEVER get what we deserve!"

Most of us ask mercy for ourselves, but justice for our enemies.

May they get what they deserve! Let them fall into the pits which they have
dug for others! Loving things like that (from the Psalms).

Father bless. Actually, Andreas, Andreasmou, or whatever, is... Greek! Andraos is the arabic rendering, and is what the Middle Easterners call me. Ma, é
